Last night in New York at an art opening, I had the pleasure of chatting with two tremendously talented artists: Eric Eyeball Richardson and Gigi Chen. Prior to the opening, Eric was in the studio creating another one of his colorful masterpieces and he rushed across town in order to make the gala reception. Fellow artist Gigi Chen noticed that Eric had some paint on his hand and she suggested that the “work was not finished.” Gigi wasted no time and completed “the work” as you can see above! It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness. Luckily for all of us, I had my camera with me and preserved this great moment.

Thanks to Eric Eyeball Richardson and Gigi Chen for this great moment. Let’s give them a hand!

IGNITE is an artist representation and consulting company which specializes in licensing, branding, fashion, merchandise design, publishing, limited editions and exhibitions. They sell original artwork from legends such as Ron English, Scooter LaForge, Olek and Deryck Todd, just to name a few artists. All of these works are available for extremely reasonable prices as well. I’ve been a big fan of this site for a long time and with great pleasure and pride, I’d like to make a huge announcement: 3 photos I’ve taken of the legendary singer Grace Jones are for sale on IGNITE’s official website as limited edition 8×10 prints! Each print is numbered and hand-signed by me and they look wonderful. My arm is still tired from signing them all, but the results have been worth every second! I’m not just saying that because I am the artist either. One of the photos is already ranked on their top sellers list and once again, I am humbled and honored just to be included on a website filled with artists I respect and admire! Christmas is coming up, so remember that while the rest of the world crashes and burns, the value of art never depreciates. Take your art collection to the next level with IGNITE!
